Just listened to John Solomon ( man who is doing a lot of real journalism exposing the Obama wiretapping of Trump and exposing the FISA court abuse by Obama. ).
John's phone seemed to be fading out in a periodically consistent manner. Even after the producer of Mark Levin's show called him again to try to "get a better connection" the same sort of phenomenon occurred. It did sound like a landline call, versus a cell phone call, which you can hear the difference given how the phone system works when it clips the high and low frequency noises off the line.
Question to any of the techies here, would a wiretapped line cause any sort of voltage drops on a periodic basis?
The NSA denies listening to all of your phone calls.
But since you were discussing Costco they recommended you try the broiled chicken.
I have been told that if it is a legal one done by the phone company, you will never know.
No
Only in movies.
If he is on the radio, why would they need to wire tap him? Surely the Dims have a radio, unless Trump took them away today.
Wire taps are now digital connections. All ‘landline’ calls are actually IP calls once in the network.
[ I have been told that if it is a legal one done by the phone company, you will never know. ]
I would imagine that a “paper trail-less” wiretap would be some sort of doohicky wired to the phone box on the side of a house pulling power from the line to charge it’s battery, it could listen and record all calls to a sd-flash memory and have a wi-fi card so you could drive by and download the latest files from it.
If you are putting it in place for weeks/months, you would want it to stay hidden, so you could have it setup, now if the lithium battery is gettign bad because of the temperature, it could be pulling more juice on it’s charging cycle.
If I were John Solomon I would certainly have someone check his landlines.
I forgot to mention that the person who told me was a Federal Agent who actually did them. He also said the stuff about having to keep a person on the line to do a trace is false. They know where it came from immediately.
This was over 40 years ago so it is not new tech.
[ Wire taps are now digital connections. All landline calls are actually IP calls once in the network. ]
But for those you need “a paper trail”
An illegal wiretap using “off the shelf components” could be built cheaply and if found there is a cold day in hell’s chance of tracing it.
If I were building such a thing I would use off the shelf components and use the voltage of the phone system to “trickle charge” it.
[ If he is on the radio, why would they need to wire tap him? Surely the Dims have a radio, unless Trump took them away today. ]
He would be making other calls you know.
Calls to his sources.
places the deep state would love to find out, and I think they would keep a wiretap of him “off the books”.
No.

True, I used to work for a telecom so I know all about “official” tech used to wiretap.
If you want to wiretap someone and keep it “off the books” there are many ways for even a private individual to do so.
Given John Solomon’s sources, I would be worried that he could be tapped using off the shelf technology that if found could not be traced back.
You could very easily use a “raspberry pi” the size of s small flip phone battery included, to tap a line and do a drive by data collect from it after installing, using the pi to compress the calls into a mp3 format.
Then you just park across the street for a few minutes as you connect to it via wi-fi and download the adata or even better use the wi-fi on it to connect to the internet and have it post the files as they come in to a “ghost web site” or ip address.
[ No. ]
That’s a relief, I guess there is no possibility of him being wiretapped at all, thank you!
I am sure if he was there would be a nice paper-trail so they wouldn’t even attempt it at all.
They are such nice boy scouts in federal government.
No...unless it’s a land line and they screwed up the wire tap.
There is no wires in wire tapping anymore. Any cellular phone can be listened in on with the right equipment much like listening to raidio.
Its either a cell phone, a wireless phone or a crappy VOIP connection.
Phone taps havent made noises on the lines since the 1970s.

Well you can tap the phones at the PBX at the phone company but this would be for a “legal” wiretap, one with a paper trail.
If I was going to tap someone and I was evil. I would use a small playing card deck sized device fitted into the phone box on the side of the house. Have it record and compress the calls using mp3 and have it use WI-fi to connect to either a website online or a “drive-by download”.
To power it I would siphon off the power from the phone line to charge a small lithium ion battery. That way once installed it could stay there until retrieval or discovery.
of course if this device was ever found it being built from off the shelf components and washed before assembly no prints, no DNA evidence and it would be nearly impossible to trace,.
But this would be a off the books phone tap by a “private party” or “covert means entity”
Far more likely to be EM interference from a local electrical device. Florescent lighting is commonly the cause of “hummm” on the lines.
When John said “Is that better”, I figured he took himself off speaker phone. Just my theory

Agreed, you basically use a laptop with some special equipment to “spoof” a cell tower then force the phone to connect to it via the older protocol so you can listen in.
It is interesting tech, people don’t realize the more technical and digital stuff gets the more ways it can be screwed with and manipulated.
